Go Texans!

We took Will to the Texans game this weekend - his first NFL experience. Thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones. We came late and left early, but after a while he seemed to adjust to the noise and ended up taking his headphones off.


It was rather a rather spontaneous adventure. Neil was going through his stack of mail Sunday morning after having been out of town for nearly two weeks and the tickets were in the mail. At first we were not going to go, but everything just lined up nicely - overcast day so we didn't have to worry about the heat and bringing his cooling vest through security etc., seats were amazing and they were near guest services for checking his stroller and the bathrooms! We even found a sitter for Quinn so it could be just a special Will, mom and dad day.



The other element that was helpful is that we didn't have other people to meet there. I know that sounds so antisocial. We LOVE play dates and meeting up with friends, but sometimes it's stressful to plan ahead for Will. It's hard to commit to something in advance when it includes Will. It's not because we don't want to go, we REALLY want to go, it's just difficult because there are so many unknowns.

We often don't even tell Will about any big plans because we have had to cancel or reschedule because something happens with his health or he just wakes up really off. That, and he will repeadetly ask and perhaps even whine (!) about when it's time to go or wanting to hurry up and be there.

At times I feel like a total flake because I feel like I can't make plans, keep plans, show up on time, or be an active friend. I used to be punctual and a planner. I still am a huge planner, but now I'm planning for like 10 different scenarios in my head before I can solidify a plan.

I'm not sure how this post went from a Texans game with fun photos to a cathartic writing lesson for me on trying to be a good friend without being a huge flake.

At any rate, thanks to our friends who put up with our new normal - sometimes that includes flaking out, rescheduling, reworking, leaving early, coming late, not being able to have a conversation because I'm making sure Will stays safe or 100 other scenarios :-)

  1. Hi, I have just found your blog and have enjoyed reading it. My 2.5 y/o son has just been diagnosed with Leigh's and we are seeking medical help outside of our state as there are not any on our area familiar with Leigh's. If you would not mind, I would like to contact you via email to ask some questions. We are desperate for help. Thank you in advance.

  2. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
